I was just reading the discuss meeting and saw this one slipped by
unanswered so I thought I'd give it a shot.  For unsubscribe you want
to use the "-t" option to make the unsubscription temporary.  Also of
use for this might be the "zpunt" command.  I've included the help for
each below.

   NAME                                                                   
                                                                         
      unsubscribe - unsubscribe from a zephyr class, instance, recipient  
                                                                         
   SYNOPSIS                                                               
      unsubscribe [-t] <class> <instance> [recipient]                     
                                                                       
   DESCRIPTION                                                            
      Unsubscribe from the specified class and instance.  If the          
      recipient is not listed on the command line it defaults             
      to * (the wildcard recipient).  If the -t option is present         
      the unsubscription will only be temporary, i.e., it will not        
      be updated in the subscription file and will therefore not          
      be in effect the next time owl is started.
